“It’s not right that things can be said on TV or the floor of Congress, but not on our platforms,”

I somewhat respect that statement actually.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I mean... We do sometimes. 🤷🏻‍♂️

For example I have ADHD, autism and BPD.

They put Dana White who heads the UFC on the board, all because Zuckerberg did Jujitsu... Jujitsu and the UFC has stange political affiliations to chechen forces Putin sometimes employs.

They're a hyper masculine male traditionalist culture. So it all ties back into that BS.

They call it "Sportswashing" - using Jujitsu to slide extremist politics onto someone. Zuckerberg fell tor it hook line and sinker. Libertarian to pro Russia pipeline. Anti-woke fascism in practice.

I feel comfortable decreeing conservatives are a mental illness.

Billionaires have mental illness and have negatively affected me and society as a whole more than any gay or trans person ever could.

[–] helmet91@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Zuckerberg has mental illness.

[–] fubo@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Zuckerberg has a moral defect. Evil is not a medical problem.

[–] HenchmanNumber3@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago

Well, evil is a medical problem for other people, like those with profitably denied insurance claims.

Okay 🤷‍♂️

EDIT They can say whatever they want. But so can you. So where's the problem?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No, no, no. Some people can say as they choose, some cannot. In any case, we're all forced to listen to it and participate.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Who's forcing you to read half baked reckons on FB?

The problem is that people are vulnerable to disinformation and now there is little to no pushback on these platforms.

In a world where people are expert critical thinkers with no biases and perfect rationality it wouldn't matter, but that isn't how people work in the slightest.

There is little to no repercussions for Meta.

I left facebook after years of having meta not do anything about blatant transphobia and ableism that I reported to them. I got a death threat late last year and that was the final straw for me

[–] db2@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What I want to know is who thought it was a good idea to give the kid who ate rocks at recess for attention an international platform. Hmm?

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Is this a meme I don't know?

Zuck is extraordinarily intelligent. You don't get into Harvard as a non legacy eating rocks.

Nor did anyone give it to him. He took it by cheating the partners that made Facebook grow in it's early years.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You're correct in the second half though. It doesn't take brains to steal, see November 5 2024.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago (2 children)

C'mon now. Don't do that. Be better than that.

What we have to understand, and accept is that the election was not stolen. It exists in a broken system where only a handful of states actually have votes that matter. And this time, those states willingly voted for trump. Texas was never going to vote for any democrat. California was never going to vote for any republican.

The few states that mattered, namely PA, voted trump.

It sucks, but thats what happened. You can't just call fraud because you don't like the gerrymandering and the oppressed voting. Those are issues to address in the years BEFORE the election. Start addressing them now for 2028.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He won the popular vote, you can't blame that on gerrymandering.

It doesn't take brains to steal but you have to be a special kind of stupid to re elect Trump after his extraordinary failure of 2016-2020.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Ok.......do you NOT see this country as a special kind of stupid?

What do you mean "now?" I've been seeing people say that for years.

[–] cowfodder@lemmy.world 65 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yup, and if you reported it as hate speech they'd review it and say it doesn't go against community guidelines.

People are free to out themselves as ignorant on Meta. Technology is getting crazy.

My mom believes the bullshit about LGBTQ being a mental illness. Can't wait for it to get worse! Thanks Facebook!
